Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ Kaizer/Daisuke (Random series) ❯ Chapter 1

"Where's Iori?" cried Miyako, suddenly realizing that he wasn't there.

"You can't even keep track of one of your own? How pathetic!!" Ken smirked.

"Gold Rush!!!" Ken jumped aside just in time.

"Iori!" Miyako called. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine!" he called up to her. The Airdramon began to attack the DigiDestined. Daisuke was knocked away from the others by the force of the attack. He lied there, unconscious, just waiting to be captured. Ken jumped down and grabbed the helpless Daisuke.

"Dai!" cried Hikari. Nefertimon was getting ready to attack when Ken laughed.

"Do you really want to risk hitting your little friend?" Kari looked on with tears in her eyes, she shook her head. "Thought not." Ken jumped up on the Airdramon and then disappeared into the clouds.

"Dai-Chan!!!!!!!" screamed Hikari as she broke down in tears.

****************************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~ 'Why did I take you Daisuke? I have no real use for you anyway. There's more use in Wormmon than in you. So why did I bring you here?'~ Ken stared intently at the marooned haired boy that was chained to the wall in his dungeon. The young boy was mesmerizing. Ken moved next to Daisuke and reached out to touch his silky strands. "It's so soft..." His hand wandered down to Daisuke's face. He caressed his cheek and chin. "So soft... So fragile... So beautiful..." Daisuke moaned and Ken snatched his hand away and jumped back into the shadows.

"Wha... Where... where am I?" Ken stepped forward again so Daisuke could see him. "You! Kaizer, let me go!!"

"Why? I took you prisoner and I can do as I want with you." Ken smiled as Daisuke struggled with his chains. "Really Daisuke, you're going to tire yourself out trying to escape that way. I might not feed you so might want to save your strength." The Kaizer turned to leave.

"Ken wait!" Ken turned around to face Daisuke. "I want to know two things. The first one is why did you capture me?"

"Because take away the leader and the whole resistance is ready for termination." The Kaizer smirked at the horror written on the boy's face at the thought of the death of his friends.

"Okay, but what would you want in order for me to go free?" Daisuke asked cautiously. Ken raised an eyebrow.

"You think I'd let you go free and ruin my plan?" Daisuke hung his head.

"I just want to see my friends and Hikari..." he whispered.

"I'll think about your petty request." And with that Daisuke was left alone.

"What?!?" *'Why did he say he'd think about letting me see my friends? Does my happiness mean something to him? I don't see why... I am his enemy, but I know that I don't have to be... Does he realize that too?'* Daisuke let his thoughts wander until sleep caught up with him and he began to lightly doze in the uncomfortable position the chains held him in.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ken sat in his control room watching for the other DigiDestined. ~ 'Why did I think of him as beautiful? Why did I say I would consider letting him see his 'friends'? Why did I really capture him? I know that something in me is saying because without him the DigiDestined are weaker and that they will be easier to conquer, but there is something else in me that says they're better off with out him... I know I'd be better with him..................... Where the Hell did that come from?!?!?' ~ Ken shook his head to try and rid his mind of the young leader's face, but it was in vain. "Wormmon!" Ken yelled for his Digimon.

"Yes, Master?" asked the frightened Digimon.

"Watch for those pathetic brats. I must check on my guest." Ken walked out as Wormmon sat in front of the monitors and resumed the watch.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~~~****~~~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

As Ken walked into the dungeon the first thing he saw was Daisuke hanging from the wall. When he got closer he saw that Daisuke's wrists were covered in blood from his weight pulling him forward. Ken quickly unlocked the chains and laid Daisuke down. "Gods, that's pretty deep," he whispered as he looked at the boy's small wrists. Ken took Daisuke's gloves off and sent a small Gekomon after some bandages and herbs. "What took you so long?" the Kaizer snapped at the small creature when it returned. The Gekomon just bowed and ran off. The Kaizer started to apply the herbs to the cuts and wrap them when Daisuke began to stir. Ken quickly finished the job and was about to chain him again. Suddenly, Daisuke began to toss his head back and forth and he murmured something that Ken couldn't understand. Ken gently pushed Daisuke's bangs out of his face and noticed, through his gloves, that Daisuke was burning with a fever. ~ 'He's sick... I can't just leave him down here... I'll take him upstairs and tend to him there.' ~ Ken picked up the young DigiDestined leader and took him to a room somewhere towards the top of fortress. It was fairly small, with a small window, a chair, nightstand, and a chest of drawers.

As Ken laid Daisuke down on the bed he began to shiver. Ken quickly covered him up with the soft blanket. "Ken..." Daisuke seemed to be waking up, but he wasn't so sure. "Why?" Daisuke asked, barely opening his eyes.

"Just rest Daisuke. I'll be back in the morning..." Ken turned around and left, so Daisuke lay down and slept peacefully until the next evening.

**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~

*'Why did he tend to my wounds and bring me up here to sleep while I had this fever? What is it that he really wants? What is it that I really want? Do I really want to go back now? The other's never really noticed me... Hikari was just starting to, but she will probably fall for Takeru anyway... She would be happier with him... Why is Ken being so nice?'* Daisuke was lying on the bed that the Kaizer had him sleep on the night before. He casually looked around the room and saw the small window. Daisuke sat up and continued to look at the window. There was no way he could fit through it, but it was a way to see outside. Daisuke got up slowly and sat down by the window and pressed his forehead against the cool glass and continued to think, but this time out loud. "Why is he being so nice? Why?" Ken came in the room and saw the younger boy by the window. "Where do I really wanna be?"

"Why are you asking yourself that young Daisuke?" asked the Kaizer with a half smile on his face. Daisuke turned around quickly and pressed his back against the window in shock. "I won't hurt you Daisuke. I would have done something already had that been the reason for my visit."

"Why? Why did you tend to my wounds and why did you bring me up here? I thought the whole purpose of me being here was to destroy all of the DigiDestined. If you're going to kill my friends than kill me too, so I won't be alone again!" Daisuke was beginning to tear as the words came out of his mouth. * 'No more being alone, that's all I have ever been... No more...'* Ken looked shocked by Daisuke's outburst. Daisuke turned around quickly to hide his tears. "I know that's what is going to happen to me anyway so just get it over with so I won't be any trouble."

"If you were causing me any trouble you would be dead by now! So obviously you have nothing to worry about at the moment!"

"If you are going to kill my friends than go ahead and kill me too!"

"Friends! Some 'friends' they are since they haven't even been to the DigiWorld yet today and the sun will be setting in a couple of hours."

"You're lying!!!! I know my friends will come after me! You're just trying to confuse me!"

"Daisuke, you've been asleep for almost twenty- four hours and you are telling me that my monitors are dysfunctional?! You would still be in the dungeon bleeding and very sick if I hadn't of brought you up here!"

"Why did you? You still haven't answered that question... I think I deserve to know Ken." Ken looked at him for a moment, then looked away as if trying to think of a reason.

"To tell the truth, I'm not sure why I did other than the fact that it is dishonorable to leave one to die."

"To die? Isn't that why you captured me in the first place?"

~ 'I don't know... I don't think that was my reason...' ~ "..."

"Answer me, Ken!" * 'Why won't he answer me?'* Daisuke was staring at the Kaizer, who had his back to him. Daisuke was starting to get angry. What right did the Kaizer have to play games with his mind? * 'I don't really care, but if he found that out he would use it against me... I don't want him to be my enemy any more... I know that I could get through to him if he wasn't so damn pig headed.'* Daisuke lost control of his anger and flung himself at the Kaizer.

"What the..!" Ken was taken by surprise as Daisuke tackled him. "What the bloody hell do you think you are doing?" Ken asked as he took hold of Daisuke's fists as they flew at him.

"Trying to find the answers I keep asking for!" Daisuke growled at him. Ken easily took the upper hand and rolled to pin Daisuke beneath him.

"Attacking me will only get you hurt, Daisuke. Don't you see that?"

"Not really!" Daisuke broke Ken's hold as he said this and managed a hit to Ken's face, knocking the glasses off of his face. Daisuke stopped struggling and looked at Ken's eyes.

"What?" Ken asked as Daisuke kept staring at him.

"You've got really pretty eyes... Why do hide them?" Ken blushed and looked away. "Sorry..."

"For what?" Ken looked back Daisuke, as he looked away.

"For punching you..." Daisuke said uneasily. Ken moved to get up. "Ken, tell me, why you hide your eyes?" Ken looked down at Daisuke as he stood up.

"You know, Daisuke... That's something I never really thought about at all... I just did it... on a whim..." While Ken said this, he extended a hand to help Daisuke up off the floor. Daisuke hesitantly took it.

"That isn't really a reason, Ken. Just like honor isn't an excuse as to why you brought me up here in the first place..." Daisuke walked back to the window and looked out at the setting sun. "When you brought me up here you said you would come back to see me in the morning..."

"You were still asleep Daisuke. I did come back. You were exhausted and sick... your body needed all it's rest."

"You can use the fact that I was asleep as an excuse, but how do I know you really did?" Ken looked at Daisuke's back. His voice seemed to hold a sadness in it and it looked as if Daisuke was trying to hold back tears. ~ 'Why would he be upset if I didn't come in? I know that I did and I made sure that he was covered and that his fever was going down, but he really seems to think that I'm lying to him...'~

"Daisuke, why would I lie to you about that?"

"To gain my trust and then use it to destroy me..." Daisuke said bitterly, as something in his heart sank.

"I already told you, Daisuke. I'm not going to hurt you-"

"Yet. You already said that you were going to destroy the DigiDestined, and that's what I am, so why not destroy me, too?" * 'I don't want you to have to kill me Ken, but if that's what you want than I can handle that... I always looked up to you as the genius and brilliant soccer player... I always will... and I will always admire your determination and iron will... I want you to be happy at any cost to me. That is definitely the one thing that I do know.'*

"Daisuke, the way I destroy the DigiDestined is my business. I have you here for my reasons and that's all you need to know... but if you want to know more then you should ask me, not make guesses about your future. If you need anything just say something." The Kaizer turned and started to leave.

"Wait Ken! How will anyone hear me?" Daisuke turned around with tearstains on his cheeks. Ken looked over his shoulder.

"Don't worry. I'll hear what you need me to." Ken started out the room, and Daisuke sank down on the floor.

"I hope so..." Daisuke whispered as the door closed behind the Kaizer. "I hope so, Ken..." Daisuke stared out the window again and soon, as he watched the setting sun, he fell asleep.

**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~

"How did I get from there to here..." Daisuke woke from his peaceful slumber to the sound of birds outside the window. Daisuke also noticed that he had been moved from the floor to the bed and that his jacket was lying on the end of the bed. "Did Ken move me... again?" As he asked this, the door opened and the Kaizer walked in.

"Good Morning Daisuke," He said as he sat down in a chair by the window.

"Why do you keep doing random acts of kindness when I'm supposed to be your enemy?" Daisuke started the morning as he had finished the night before, with questions.

"You are in my care at the moment so you might as well be comfortable." Ken wasn't going to say what he was really thinking.

~ 'Because I want you to be happy. I don't know why, but I do.' ~

"Bull shit." Daisuke eyed him suspiciously. * 'I hope you don't think I'm complaining, Ken... I just want to know the truth.'* "So why are you doing this?" Ken stood up. He wasn't in the mood for Daisuke to ask all the questions that were to remain unanswered and cause another fight. "Sorry Ken. If you don't want to answer a question you don't have to." Daisuke just didn't want Ken to leave. He looked down at the covers that he had slept under for the last two nights. "Why do you still hide your eyes?" Daisuke whispered.

"What did you say?" Ken looked at Daisuke with a quizzical look.

"Nothing. It was nothing." Daisuke looked away at the other side of the room.

"It obviously was something or you wouldn't have said anything," Ken said as he brought the chair over to the bed.

"No it wasn't."

"You ask important questions, so what was it Daisuke?"

"Why do you still hide your eyes?" Ken leaned back in the chair and thought for a moment.

"I don't know." ~ 'He said my eyes were pretty... Why else would he ask that question.' ~ "Do you want me to?" Daisuke's head shot up and looked at the Kaizer.

"What?!?" * 'Did he just ask for my opinion?'*

"I said 'Do you want me to?'" ~ 'I just want your opinion Daisuke... I want you to be happy, no matter what it does to me...' ~

"You shouldn't hide them... they're too pretty to hide." When Daisuke was finished he looked down, blushing furiously. Ken took off his glasses and placed them in a pocket in his cape.

"Is this better?" Ken asked Daisuke. Daisuke looked up into Ken's deep amethyst eyes. He nodded as he was caught up in the eyes of the enemy that was so kind, so gentle that he didn't notice the time slow down between the two of them. "I need to go..." Ken rose from the chair and replaced his glasses.

"How come whenever we start to have a real conversation or act like friends, you up and leave?"

"It doesn't concern you as to my motives, I can do whatever the hell I want! For all you know I could have better things to do than sit here and talk to a child like you." With that the Kaizer turned around and started for the door.

"What?!?!" Daisuke cried as he leapt at the Kaizer, sending them both crashing to the floor.

"Why the hell do you keep doing this?" Ken asked as they both struggled for the upper- hand. "You know I'll win anyway!" Ken finally pined Daisuke and asked, "So why do you keep doing this?" Daisuke looked away as tears began to form in his eyes.

"I just want to know why I'm here..." The tears flowed freely as he whispered the words. Ken's head snapped back shocked as the boy beneath him started to sob. His grip on Daisuke's arms loosened. He let go of an arm and started to dry the tears on Daisuke's cheeks. Daisuke turned towards Ken and asked, "Why?" Ken put a finger to Daisuke's lips.

"Hush, just be quiet..." Ken whispered huskily as he leaned closer to Daisuke. Daisuke was aware of Ken's light breath on his lips. He lay there quietly as Ken stroked his hair lovingly. Ken smiled down at Daisuke who was smiling right back at him. "What? You've got that look in your eyes when you want to ask me a question."

"You've been looking at my eyes? Well your eyes deal with my question..."

"Let me guess, Daisuke," Ken interrupted. He leaned back, took off his glasses and flung them away. "Is that better?"

"Much." Ken leaned over Daisuke again.

"Good..." Ken looked right into Daisuke's eyes. Ken leaned down till his face, actually his lips were just above Daisuke's. "So soft... yet strong... and beautiful..." Daisuke began to blush as Ken whispered the words. If Daisuke had wanted to react to what Ken had said, he wasn't going to, because the older boy had closed the space between their lips in a kiss. It was the sweetest thing that Daisuke had ever experienced. He subconsciously reached up and wrapped his arms around Ken's neck, pulling him closer.

*'This is the most wonderful feeling... I would never have thought that I would feel this way about Ken... But I love this feeling... and I think him...'*

~'Daisuke... now I know why I wanted to make you happy... I love you...'~ The realization scared the Kaizer. To him, emotions were a direct way to down fall, a weakness. He couldn't love Daisuke... Love was one of the most dangerous emotions. Ken pulled away from Daisuke, who was gasping for breath; got up, grabbed his glasses, and left. Leaving a dumbfounded Daisuke alone for the rest of the day, and well into the night.
